However, Bibi’s family members while performing the funeral, noticed that they were given the body of a Hindu woman who was identified as Narsubhai. Agitated relatives of both the victims staged a protest even as the hospital authorities tried to pacify them. GGH superintendent Dr Prathimaraj was not available for comment.
